Stupid example, though. If you're going 100 MPH, a 500 mile
trip also takes five hours. If you're only using one set of
units, it doesn't make any difference what they are.

More practically, 60MPH is a mile a minute, and very easy to work
with.

Yes, but then you have to divide by 60 to know how many hours
that work out to.

Is that a problem for most people? After all, the same time system is
used in most places.


THE metric unit of time is the second. Minutes and hours are not
metric.

I suppose you'll be leading the charge, then, to have vehicle speedometers
changed over to meters per second? Don't forget the speed limit signs, too.
